The preteen years can be complicated. How does God fit into these years? During this stage, preteens grapple with Biblical truths and how they apply to everyday circumstances. These years are filled with learning opportunities as preteens navigate this season of growth and adventure.

Through the course of a year, they discover important attributes of God that help them through new challenges they are facing, experiences they encounter, and questions they are asking.How do you know God is real?What do you do when you are blamed for doing something wrong, but you are innocent?Is God really everywhere?Do you know how to delight in the Lord?

Aaron, Avery, Trevor, and Kaylin share different faith experiences while they learn to face the preteen life together-and with God's help!
